Who is Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh from Daughter of Persia: A Woman's Journey from Her Father's Harem Through the Islamic Revolution and what is their importance?

Mossadegh was Shazdah's nephew and close friend, a good man who was the only son of Shazdah's beloved sister Najmeh-Saltaneh.When Shazdeh was ordered back to Tehran, Mossadegh replaced him as governor of the region. A few years later, while Satti was studying in the U.S., Mossadegh represented the Nationalist Front party as the prime minister. He was a frail elderly man who often conducted important meetings in his pajamas. Like most Iranian politicians, Mossadegh was dramatic, often speaking so passionately that he passed out on stage. Although he was widely ridiculed in the international press, Satti saw Mossadegh as Iran's best hope for an independent government. His days were numbered, however, when he demanded a higher share of oil profits for Iran. When the U.S. brought the Shah back to rule Iran, Mossadegh was imprisoned and tortured. He lived the last years of his life under house arrest and eventually died of complications of the injuries he suffered in prison.
